July in Andalas meant scorching heat. The cicadas chirped on the branches under the shade of the trees at the Rivers residence. Serenity Rivers woke up to the music of the cicadas.
Fortunately, Benjamin Rivers had left for the company. Otherwise, she would not know how to answer him if he asked her why she was not at work.
But he had been pretty amiable to her recently. Was it perhaps because she had helped him with the Haverford Corporation's land bidding?
After breakfast, she was about to find something to do to kill time when Francesca called.
She was a little surprised. Was she calling her in to formalize her resignation?
When the call connected, Francesca said, "Miss Serenity, why didn't you come to work today?"
She was confused. Didn't Gabriel tell her to leave Zephyr?
Did Francesca not know about this?
That was impossible.
